I read "Mind Control" by Takashi Okada.

I learned a lot from the systematic way in which past mind control research has been summarized.

I have been doing research and development on control of machines and systems for almost 20 years.

And it's true that I'm getting more and more interested in "human control".

But,

"Ebata started to steer to the "dark side" again."

is not true.

In the first place, the "behavioral change" called for in the Corona disaster is "human control" in a broad sense.

However, "behavior change" is fundamentally different from "mind control", which is the practice of fundamentally changing one's beliefs.

Mind control is the process of forcibly implanting a particular thought or idea into a person's mind, after knocking down the environment and way of thinking that the person has had in his or her life.

Nevertheless, mind control techniques can be used for techniques to induce behavioral change.

(1) Thoroughly limit (reduce to zero) the input of information, and conversely, continue to provide a vast amount of information.

(2) Putting the brain into a state of fatigue by keeping it constantly thinking under high tension.

(3) Keeping them from making their own decisions and keeping them dependent on a specific person.

I felt a sense of deja vu and thought, "Oh, I've seen this story somewhere before", and then I realized, "This is just like the social networking sites and the media in the last two years regarding the Corona disaster.

I think this is true not only for those who continue to reject vaccines, but also for those who are pro-vaccine.

I believe that there are very few people who have made the decision to vaccinate or refuse to vaccinate based solely on their own research, study and beliefs.

At the moment, I can't use advanced techniques like controlling other people's brains (mind control), but I almost destroyed my own brain once -- with a diet.

Yes, at that time, I was blue in the face when I realized how easy it was to destroy my own brain.

I once bought a book exposing how the author used fake news on social networking sites to lead Trump to victory in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, but the author's writing style ("I'm awesome") made me uncomfortable, so I stopped reading it.

I'm going to read it again.

However,

"Mr. Ebata. What are you working on now?"

"Yeah, I've been doing a little 'mind control' lately..."

If I say something like that, I think I will be met with disapproval. So, I'd like to think about how to say it.
